Could the US have won WW1 without the Battle of Britain?

Yes, they would have. But the war would have likely not been won for at least another year, possibly two. The Battle of the North Atlantic would have been significantly longer to gain superiority and get convoys through to the U.K. and Russia, as Canadian waters would have been considered neutral and not usable by British and American forces.

Could the Allies have won WW2 without American industrial reserves?

Probably yes. American industrial reserves and financial reserves were as important to the Allies winning WW2 as British industrial and financial reserves were to the earlier Allies winning WW1, and the Napoleonic Wars (in which by the way the US fought on Napoleon’s side).

Could Germany have won WW2 without the US?

Even with everything noted above, Germany and its European partners could have still won the war were it not for Germany’s declaration of war on the United States on December 11, 1941. It was really the only time Nazi Germany had actually declared war on an enemy, and it needed not to have happened.
